Wonks at Work | Episode 21
Host Craig Wilson delves into a relatively new space in health care — accountable care organizations, or ACOs. Ushered in under a brief portion of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, ACOs bring together competitors and sometimes adversaries that must trust and rely on one another to achieve effective, sustainable change in healthcare delivery. Miranda Morris, executive director of Aledade — an ACO operating in Arkansas — talks about how the organization functions and why the flexibility of this model makes it sustainable for the future of health care.
